RFS HR Consultancy specialises in Emiratisation recruitment for UAE private sector employers with 50 or more employees across 14 regulated sectors under Cabinet Resolution No. 31 of 2022. The MOHRE Emiratisation quota requires a 2% annual increase in UAE national headcount per qualifying employer. Non-compliant companies face a penalty of AED 9,000 per unfilled Emirati position per month, totalling AED 108,000 per year per position. The NAFIS salary subsidy programme reduces the net cost of Emiratisation by providing AED 3,000 to AED 5,000 per month directly to eligible Emirati employees in the private sector. RFS HR Consultancy maintains an active pipeline of qualified UAE national candidates across finance, technology, healthcare, legal, and HR functions.
